I simply must respond to a couple to recent postings about CPSR. Louis Giliberto says, "CPSR would probably be against hacking." In fact, CPSR has taken a very carefully measured stand which explicitly recognizes the history and value of non-pernicious hacking. (See the issue of CACM which covered the Morris Internet worm.) John Haugh writes of his disagreements with Helen Caldicott and "Silent Spring," neither of which have anything to do with CPSR, and then, apparently on the basis of those completely-unrelated episodes, expresses his disbelief that CPSR could be "behaving scientifically and responsibly." Come on, folks, if you don't like CPSR, fine, but don't tar CPSR with your unrelated suppositions and dislikes. Be reasonable. -- Rodney Hoffman CPSR board member
